The City Lord's Mansion's tax revenue was very high. It exceeded 55% of the net interest rate. However, Wei Huo and the others did not care about that. After the book, they launched a new terrifying product — a novel.
It was a novel written in the language of the Atlanteans. In the beginning, the Atlanteans had bought the products of their subsidiary company with trust. They did not understand what was going on with the books, but after a few glances, they could not look away.
The most terrifying thing was that novels were more durable than books and took longer to read than books. Reading a book could take a long time, but they could not stop.
Wei Huo and the others even started training writers. Their goal was to get them to write stories for their own people to read.
This was a terrifying cultural invasion. It was self-invasion. The Atlanteans had infiltrated their works with the desire for freedom. After seeing such works, the Atlanteans were infected by these thoughts.
Once the books and novels were launched, they immediately became popular in the entire city, and there was even a trend of expanding to other cities. The advantage of these two products was that they spent very little money when reading, because they did not need to walk or talk, but in the process of reading, they could obtain knowledge.
Nothing was more terrifying than this. Books could bring knowledge to people, and their fees were very low. There was almost no cost when reading.
Most importantly, if a novel described a scene that made their hearts beat faster and their faces turn red, they would show a 'hehe' expression and shout in their hearts, 'I've made a killing! I've made a killing! '
At the same time, all sorts of books were pushed out. The most famous one was' Success Studies'. Not only could the terrifying Success Studies deceive land people, but it could also deceive Atlanteans. What was even more terrifying was that there were several versions of Success Studies, and each version sold well.
Soon, freelance writers appeared in Atlantean society. Some writers even specialized in describing bold scenes that made people blush and their hearts race. These writers' works often sold well.
Wei Huo and the others' methods had revitalized the city's market, causing the city's market to flourish. Its economy was also developing rapidly, and its tax revenue was rising. The City Lord's Mansion had specially awarded the subsidiary company a medal.
However, the nightmare had only just begun …
Some young people began to escape from reality and became addicted to novels and books. Then, they gave up their jobs. Some young people chose to start their own businesses in order to pursue their dreams. In the end, they failed.
Although the economy was rising crazily, many people had been imprisoned because they could not afford to walk or breathe.
However, at that moment, a person controlled by Wei Huo and the others walked onto the street and shouted, "I have a dream …"
A new profession, the public speaker, had appeared.
They kept walking and talking. "I hope that one day, we can run freely across the land. I hope that one day, we can talk freely. I hope that one day, we can breathe in big mouthfuls of air, even though we are penniless …"
The orator's speech struck a chord with the great mass of ordinary people, who worked all day for a pittance of salary, and who had to spend their money talking, walking, and breathing. They had no freedom at all.
At this moment, someone stood up and said, "Let's fight against money and build a home of freedom!"
People suddenly roared crazily. They expressed their wishes to their heart's content and were arrested by the police …
However, at that moment, a person named Liu Huo stood up. This person had written a book called 'Theory of Freedom'.
As soon as' Theory of Freedom 'was published, the people at the bottom of the city rioted. They wanted to defend their freedom and resist the City Lord's Mansion!
A terrifying storm of freedom brewed in the city, but Wei Huo and the others entered the volcano beside the city.
Through the knowledge they had bought with money, they learned that this volcano was not a naturally formed volcano. It was an active volcano.
The golden armor said, "The technology of the Atlanteans has developed to such an extent that they can actually create volcanoes. If they use this method to obtain the internal resources of Earth, will they one day obtain all the resources of Earth?"
The energy in the Earth's core did not change. As the energy in the Earth's core gradually decreased, the Earth would face death sooner or later. The Atlanteans' unscrupulous creation of artificial volcanoes would accelerate this process.
Wei Huo said, "By then, the Atlanteans would have obtained the ability to leave this planet long ago. I don't even doubt that they have the ability now. That's why they are unscrupulously obtaining the energy in the Earth's core."
The Atlanteans were scarier pests than the land people. The land people seemed to be obtaining the Earth's resources uncontrollably, but this was nothing to the entire Earth. No matter how much the land people struggled, even if they plowed the Earth with a nuclear bomb, what effect would that have on the Earth?
However, the Atlanteans were different. If they continued like this, the energy in the Earth's core would be exhausted sooner or later.
There was only one reason Wei Huo and the others had entered the volcano. They had bought precious information about why Legendary creatures were cultivating in seclusion in volcanoes.
The Prime Minister Black Dragon said, "I didn't expect there to be something like Soul Refining Water in volcanoes. It can cleanse one's spirit and remove impurities. No wonder the Legendary creatures at the bottom of the sea are cultivating in volcanoes."
Wei Huo checked the information about the Soul Refining Water carefully and said, "Soul Refining Water is a liquid with a higher density than mercury. It's located deep in the Earth's core and will evaporate due to the high temperature. That's why there's a chance it will emerge from the volcano as a gas. However, it will soon turn back into a liquid because the temperature is not high enough. Then, it will flow back into the depths of the Earth's core and repeat the cycle."
This thing was too precious. It could cleanse one's spirit. This was the biggest temptation for Legendary creatures. In the underwater world, a drop of Soul Refining Water could be sold for a sky-high price.
The golden armor said, "The boiling point of the Soul Refining Water is 6,000 degrees. The temperature of the Earth's core is 6,800 degrees, so it can be vaporized. The temperature of its liquefaction is about 3,000 degrees. However, the temperature of the volcano is at most 1,000 degrees. That's why one has to go deep into the magma to obtain this liquid."
Xiao Yi said, "It's very difficult to go deep into the magma, but if mercury is used, it will reduce the difficulty of obtaining Soul Refining Water. Mercury can fuse with Soul Refining Water and lower its liquefaction temperature, allowing it to liquefy in shallower and lower temperatures. That way, the Atlanteans can obtain a mixture of Soul Refining Water and mercury in shallower magma areas. After collecting this mixture, they can refine the Soul Refining Water."
